Circuit Breakers

Circuit breakers are electrical safety devices, not interchangeable switches. Compare products by manufacturer-approved current rating, pole count, interruption capacity, trip characteristics, mounting format and the distribution panel they are intended to fit. Bolt-on and plug-in breaker styles are not automatically interchangeable.

Before ordering, verify the panel model, applicable supply voltage, conductor specification and the circuit’s protective requirements with a qualified electrician. Never choose a higher ampere rating simply to stop nuisance tripping; the cause must be investigated. Install and test devices according to the manufacturer’s instructions and applicable Philippine electrical standards.
